What are you listening to?

[Savonarola]

And for a different take on the state of Louisiana:

Labelle - Nightbirds (1974)

I had a coworker who told me she would sing "Lady Marmalade," all the time when she was about six or seven.  Unfortunately (well, maybe fortunately) for her, her mother spoke French and made her quit.  (I read that Patti Labelle claims she didn't know what she was singing about.)

Another Allen Toussaint produced masterpiece and Labelle's finest album; the only real problem with it is that the rest of the album can't live up to the first two tracks ("Lady Marmalade" and "Somebody Somewhere")  It's still good throughout.  The rumor is that the Meters filled in as session men; it certainly sounds like it could have been them.
